Endorphins in Autism

Continuing the discussion on natural elements.

We all release Endorphins in response to stress and anxiety.

Endorphins produce what is commonly referred to as ‘body odor’, thus not of bacterial origin.
It is a pungent, chemical, triggering odor.
Speculation is that it stimulates adrenaline release.

Body odor is naturally produced by deteriorating skin bacteria.

Skin bacteria are a natural odorless protection from airborne pollutants.
They become foul smelly in contact with sweat as result of overheating.
Sweat alone is 100% odorless, we would never smell in the absence of bacteria.

We all sweat to a varying degree through physical activity.
Dermatologists recommend a shower ideally every 3 days in cold weather at physical rest, or daily rinsing for heavy laborers.

Endorphins related odor occurs under any distressing circumstance.
The odor is triggering for both the recipient and the receiving end.
Showering is useless if we don’t calm down.
Endorphins are not heat-dependent.

The sufferer goes in ‘fight or flight’ mode.
I could describe the experience as a long lasting panic attack.
Sedation is oftentimes indispensable.

Why are we affected by other’s endorphins?
I believe in autistic self-identify’s predisposition.

This is the worst scenario, like having two panic attacks simultaneously.
The odor becomes unbearable and Anger-triggering.

Avoiding confined spaces is the general rule for sensory overload’ s related conditions.
